051-0195-16L	Kritik und Theorie	2 credits	2S	K. Sander
Abstract	Against the background of my self-developed ten-line-format we are going to discover thematically partly fee, partly architecture related topics, by writing.
Learning objective	Structure and/or strenghtening of the capability to express oneself in writing on a journalist level - effortlessly, flexibly and easily , thus primarily on special guidelines with regard to a tight text volume (i.e. blurbs on books or short contributions in magazines).
Content	Against the background of my self-developed ten-line-format we are going to discover thematically partly fee, partly architecture related topics, by writing. The seminar enables students to work out concise and coherent texts of high linguistic expression to various topics within very short time.

Abstract	Applying and understanding theoretical and practical aspects of photography from fine arts, architecture and society
Learning objective	The aim of the course is to reach a higher competence level of the media through applying cultural techniques of photography. Through critical discussions and analyses of the medium, participants will develop their concept of photography and confront its theoretical and practical challenges.
Content	Participants will analyze the motivations, strategies, and technical methods of artists and photographers. These analyses will also include the effectiveness and the history of reception of the given work or artist. Based on practical examples, theories of photography will be applied, i.e. through discussing reference, reproducibility, image time, etc.
Prerequisites / Notice	Places are limited. Enrolment by agreement with the lecturer. Please Motivation letter to be sent until 10.9.2015 an Wirz Mirjam <wirz@arch.ethz.ch>
051-0201-16L	3D Scanning and Freeform Modeling Limited number of participants. Enrolment in agreement with the lecturer only.	2 credits	2U	K. Sander
Abstract	Digital Sculpture. Experimental use of a system for digitalizing and modeling 3D objects.
Learning objective	Experimentation with digital tools and various design processes of 3D forms in fine arts, design and architecture. Practicing and playing with dimensionality and sense of space.
Content	The department of Architecture and Fine Arts has a 3D-Bodyscanner available for the digitalization of persons and objects, and is complimented by a special software for modeling the 3D data. After a period of training and practice, participants are asked to develop ideas and concepts for their own projects. These concepts should be used to lead and expand the system and the possibilities of its application. The process of readjustment and its realization will be a continual part of developing the individual projects.
Prerequisites / Notice	The number if participants is limited to 14 students and enrolments need the lecturer's allowance! We Works with a 3D Touch Mouse, see Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NF7nfktef2Q Proficiency in Windows systems is a precondition for participation. To enroll in the course, please consult the lecturer: Adi Grüninger: grueninger@arch.ethz.ch

051-0211-02L	Architecture and Art I (2-Semester Course, Exercise)	0 credits	6U	K. Sander
Abstract	Artistic thinking and working is developed in the dialog through the actual completion of individual projects. The focal point lies in the formulation of a personal objective and the individual, artistic approach to this view which is discussed in joint corrective dialogues.
Learning objective	Competence in independent artistic thought and practice. Development of the criteria of theory and practice in the visual arts.
Content	Artistic thinking and working is developed in the dialog through the actual completion of individual projects. The focal point lies in the formulation of a personal objective and the individual, artistic approach to this view which is discussed in joint corrective dialogues.
051-1247-16L	Integrated Diszipline Architecture and Art (K.Sander)	3 credits	2U	K. Sander
Abstract	In the integrated discipline the architectural design will be juxtaposed by artistic thinking and working. The conceptional approach will in particular be rendered more precise in the dialogue between architectural and artistic methods. There is also a focus on the technique of describing the context precisely.
Learning objective	Art ist the discipline that is constantly creating new realities of terminology and perception. The purpose of the integrated discipline is to use this knowledge, that is produced by art, and to concern it by making design decisions.
Content	A systematic procedure for every step in the design will be supported in the integrated discipline, from the generation of new ideas through to detailing and up to presentation. Reflections on method flow into the design in an integrated manner. There will also be an emphasis on giving expression to the results of the design process using artistic means. In addition a publication should be compiled, presenting the conceptual steps developing the design.
